Modular solutions can give schools the room to re-open

12th June 2020

This week the Government has had to drop its plan to send all primary age children back to school before the start of the summer holidays.

After weeks of warnings from the teaching profession the Department for Education has reluctantly had to conclude that most school premises in England simply aren’t big enough to allow all children to return while maintaining safe social distancing.

But our modular classrooms are a fast and cost-effective way to expand school capacity and allow more children to return to education. Headteachers looking for novel ways to re-open safely should consider hiring or buying modular classrooms from Rollalong as a temporary solution.

Other options are being explored, such as using space in council buildings, libraries or theatres. But the fact remains that schools will find it easier to re-open if all pupils are taught on the same school site. Modular classrooms that can be quickly and easily installed are an obvious answer.

We have a number of modular double classrooms for purchase or hire which we can install and fully fit out in between four and eight weeks depending on the site and the groundworks required.

The classrooms can also be adapted for other uses such as extra offices or storage space.

The standard 18218mm x 9318mm double classrooms with toilets are fully BB101 compliant with 2019 regulations, and electrics, plumbing and groundworks can be completed our team as part of the hire or purchase.

We can deliver the classroom modules anywhere in the south of England – over to London and the South East and as far north as Oxford.

There’s no minimum or maximum hire period, but hiring becomes more cost-effective the longer you want to keep your new building.

The ground conditions on your site and the proximity to other buildings and services will influence our ability to install our classroom modules.

19th May 2020 If your school or college needs some additional space, Rollalong can help! We have a number of modular double classrooms for purchase and hire which we can install and fully fit out in between four and eight weeks depending on the site and the groundworks required. Maybe you need additional classroom space to allow for social distancing, or an extra toilet and washing facility, as you think about how to safely reopen your school after the lockdown. The classrooms can be adapted for other uses by businesses, charities and public sector organisations too: as extra office space, storage space or archive rooms for example.

Customers who have ordered our modular classrooms in the past have included schools that needed new changing areas, colleges that enjoyed an unexpected increase in students, and an MOD facility that required a new office building at short notice.
